Some of them still think like Behe.       >>>>>>>>>>>       >>>>>>>>>>>>       >>>>>>>>>>>>> Not only       >>>>>>>>>>>>> that, but as I indicated there are somethings about evolution       that have       >>>>>>>>>>>>> not been established because they claim to be tweekers like       Behe, and       >>>>>>>>>>>>> their god has been tweeking things in order to make humans into       his own       >>>>>>>>>>>>> image.       >>>>>>>>>>>>       >>>>>>>>>>>> I'm still waiting for an example of those tweekers. And why do you       >>>>>>>>>>>> keep bringing Behe into it? He has nothing to do with Biologos or       they       >>>>>>>>>>>> with him. They actually have a lengthy article about his "Darwin's       >>>>>>>>>>>> Black Box" book where they go through his arguments one by one and       >>>>>>>>>>>> show how they don't stand up.       >>>>>>>>>>>       >>>>>>>>>>> How do you expect god to have made man in his own image without       >>>>>>>>>>> tweeking? They likely even differ in what they think image means.       >>>>>>>>>>>       >>>>>>>>>>>       >>>>>>>>>>>>       >>>>>>>>>>>> https://biologos.org/common-questions/how-can-evolu       ion-account-for-the-complexity-of-life-on-earth-today       >>>>>>>>>>>>       >>>>>>>>>>>>       >>>>>>>>>>>>       >>>>>>>>>>>>>       >>>>>>>>>>>>>>       >>>>>>>>>>>>>>       >>>>>>>>>>>>>>> The example was in their description of what they       >>>>>>>>>>>>>>> believed.

You have to read       their web       >>>>>>>>>>>>>>> site to learn that some of them are tweekers that claim that       their god       >>>>>>>>>>>>>>> was involved in guiding the evolution of life on earth.       >>>>>>>>>>>>>>       >>>>>>>>>>>>>> I have read their web site and I see nothing anywhere about       forcing       >>>>>>>>>>>>>> biological evolution into conforming with their       >>>>>>>>>>>>>> Biblical interpretation. Feel free to point it out if I have       missed       >>>>>>>>>>>>>> it.       >>>>>>>>>>>>>       >>>>>>>>>>>>> You must have missed the part about tweekers,       >>>>>>>>>>>>       >>>>>>>>>>>> It's a big site and I can't find anything about tweekers.
